I was half expecting my grandmother&#39;s reaction to it (same thing, medically used) which was to feel fine, but have a three hour crying jag. Instead I just felt like someone was following me for the rest of the day. <br /><br />Seriously, people <i>want</i> to feel that way and think it&#39;s fun? Or do I just have an atypical reaction to the stuff? Either way, if I had been the least bit tempted to try it before (which I hadn&#39;t), I certainly wasn&#39;t afterwards!Library-Gryffonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06446982343602702829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-11764847823704919772012-09-30T00:44:32.826-04:002012-09-30T00:44:32.826-04:00@RehabRN: Ah, thanks!

Some of the comments seem to be assuming opiates, but IME most doctors won&#39;t prescribe narcotics for migraines. <br /><br />And no, that&#39;s not because I look like a junkie. They&#39;ll offer me opiates for sinus infections, ear infections, back pain, and abdominal cramps. Just not migraines. Which is fine with me, narcotics tend to make the nausea worse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-26567439918569991002012-09-29T15:30:06.600-04:002012-09-29T15:30:06.600-04:00What are the ethics there?

When I asked why she told me that before he would do her knee replacement he wanted her to lose weight. She is significantly overweight. I can understand why he asked that, I can see how that would benefit her before, during and after surgery, but she thought he was an ass and doctor shopped until she found someone who would do it immediately.
